Anime Like Ouran Highschool Host Club

Boys Over Flowers

Tsukushi comes for a poor family and she attends a school called the Eitoku Academy, which is more well suited for kids from a wealthy family. Due to her being poor, she is considered by many to be the "outcast" of the school. There is a boy group called the "F4", also known as the Flower Four. They rule the school and the leader(Tsukasa) is from a powerful family in Japan. He starts taking a liking to Tsukushi as she is the only girl that does not fawn over him. The other members of the group consist of Akira, a laid back and peaceful guy; Sojirou the playboy and Rui, the quiet and calm violinist. A potential love triangle happens as Tsukushi falls for Rui while Tsukasa starts chasing Tsukushi...

She starts going to the same school he does and directly competes with him. However, she cannot seem to beat him in academics and comes in second yet again. While she is struggling to beat Kei, she is oblivious to the fact that Kei actually likes her and that perhaps they could be together...

School Rumble

Now School Rumble has a bigger group then the Ouran Highschool Host Club. There is a main male and female lead. They are Harima Kenji and Tenma Tsukamoto respectively. Now, Harima is a cool delinquent that has a secret crush on Tenma. On the other side, Tenma adores another classmate named Oji Karasuma, who is oblivious to almost everything. Both leads have trouble expressing their love in this highly comedic love triangle. The romance doesn't stop there as there are also many couple pairings in the school that makes this an amusing and entertaining anime. They also have a second season as well due to its popularity. I would highly recommend that you watch this together with Peach Girl.

Anime Like Ouran Highschool Host Club Conclusion

There you have it! I have watched all of the above anime when I was younger. Peach Girl and School Rumble definitely stood out for me. Boys Over Flowers was good as well, although I suspect many might be turned off by the hand drawn animation. Anyway, be sure to check them out!

If you enjoyed Boys Over Flowers, I highly recommend the Korean live-action version. It was very well done with some reasonably pretty boys :)

My "Too Watch" list just got a bit bigger. It has been awhile since I have seen Ouran, and I definitely need to rewatch it to be sure, but I do believe SA to be the better anime. And I know am in the minority on this one, but I never did care for School Rumble.

Cool! My personal favorite on this list is Peach Girl. I also thought Fruits Basket was really cute. I might have to check out S.A., I've never seen this but I'm interested in it because I've always been very competitive as a child, even with boys.
